Electromagnetic Pulse ~ EMP

An EMP is a high intensity burst of
electromagnetic energy that can be delivered in the form
of a nuclear weapon detonated above the earth's surface
or by a sudden burst of solar charged particles in the
form of a coronal mass ejection (discussed
here). An EMP attack would decimate America's
electrical and technological infrastructure sending our
society back to the 19th century. It is estimated by a
Congressional study that nine out of ten Americans would
ultimately die as a result.

It is the grid down scenario
resulting from the EMP attack that concerns many
preppers. Further, many preppers realize that any rogue
state or terrorist organization could obtain the
technology to blast an EMP above the United States.
